I did something REALLY stupid!
I'll make this as brief as possible. I am learning about group edit policies and regedit in school; I help part time at a private business and they decided to use an old Windows XP Encrypted PC as a customer research kiosk. I decided to put my new-found 'skills' to work and create an admin login and adjust group edit policies to keep customers out of certain programs. The problem is that I unknowingly got carried away and now guests and myself (admin) are blocked from cmd.exe, internet explorer, gpedit.msc, regedit.exe, control panel, and various programs necessary to reverse this issue. Does anyone with actual experience (unlike my own) have suggestions as to how to resolve this? Being an embedded program, the system does not have a Windows CD (was pre-installed) and there is no CD-ROM drive; as it was previously used as a store register (everything is built into the monitor). I am at a loss and would truly appreciate any advice you all can offer! 1 person needs an answerI do too

you should be able to boot into safe mode and execute a system restore point prior to the modifications. -- db`...><)))> ."delpni" wrote in message news:4bd9f9ec-2de9-44b8-95ba-b049a30d3e27...I'll make this as brief as possible.
